Indrek, this video did take me 5 hours to execute -- but at the end of it, I came out victorious. You are forever going to be my load cell king. I am indebted and will spend the remainder of my mortal days finding ways to honor and love your presence. Thank you. - ** Capstone Team
Hello good sir. I'm an electrical engr and have been following a lot of tutorials of this load cell for the past 3 days... YOUR VIDEO IS THE ONLY GUIDE THAT WORKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
Dear Indrek Luuk, I am very grateful for the sketch and library you created for Arduino. I worked with it for three evenings and, using the Frankenstein method, increased the number of HX711 sensors to seven, and also added PLX DAQ, which now allows me to create weight control tables and graphs. My plans are also to remake the tare system via EEPROM to save the data of the last weight measurement, and not the tare. since in my botanical experiments I use strain gauges to determine the weight of hives during the flight of bees, and when the Arduino is rebooted, the data is reset to 0. And a hive with bees, nectar and honey weighs from 50 to 150 kg and it’s hard to pull it every time. Thank you for the program and interesting blog.
More than 5 months I was trying to implement this, was not success, may be I'm so dumb :), finally I found something works, thanks, now I can continue my project...
Great work! Your detailed step by step explanation was so useful for my 11 years old daughter on calibrating her weight sensors for her school engineering fair project. Thanks a lot and keep up with the great work. 👍
I totally agree and would like to say "thank you", too. I came across this video while looking for "ardunio with loadcell" and along the instructions on how to wire I appreciate the explanaition of the loadcell / wheatstone bridge. Great work and good to see people not just sharing but also explaining their knowledge :-)
thanks! for the video! i plan on using three load cells to make sim racing pedals for my pc and this helps me to feel more comfortable on working on it!
Good video. I suggest, however, that you use a more solid base, such as aluminum or even steel, instead of plastic. The flexing and bending of the plastic will cause inaccuracies in weighing. For demo purposes, your setup is fine but if you don't mention that a solid base is required, anyone who might still be learning will not get that important piece of knowledge.
Thanks in advanced for your introducing the application of the hx711 .But in my arduino serial output shows my measurement still increasing non stop.Can you help me thanks
nice work. but i have question . while arduino reading the values the power resets and it will not show the existing weight on load cell. any suggestions??
Is it possible to do this with scales of 400 kg or more? what should be used as a base? I would like to make 4 of them to balance the weights of my car 😊 There is a video for arduino nano and lcd screen too?
Hello, first of all, thanks for the tutorial. It is amazing. I want to measure the force in the upward direction. So that the obkect pushes up and there is "insertion force" measurement. I want to know if it would be possible when useing a 4 wire Load sensor of 100g capacity, will it work? How can I obtain the rated output, the sensitivity, accuracy and accuracy? Thanks a lot
Very good vídeo, I was searching for this all the week. Can you tell me if there os a way to get the measurment more slowly? And how to connect the display to a Arduino Uno R3.
Hi , thanks for the great video can i use it with more acquisitions rate load cells ? and do you have any recommendations for one that can get 10-50 Kg with more than 10Hz acquisition rate?
Thank you for the nice tutorial that helped me. I still have a problem: the values read by the system are increasing continuously even without any weight on it. I checked the wires of the load cell. Any idea ?
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I need to measure a weight change with respect to time for my project work. Is it possible to make a weighing machine using Arduino which gives weight with the time simultaneously.
very good video ! Does anyone know where the reference of the elements is at the very end when they connect a screen? (with the arduino NANO) I am interested in the miniaturized version
Hello. Thank you for the video. I am wondering if this load cell can measure weights at an angle? Meaning does it have a y component for example? or at least can the y component be found? Even if by measuring the mV/V using a multimeter. I have exposed the strain gauge and it looks like there are two strain gauges but I am not sure.
Did not work for me the first time. I tried five different load cells, and tried ALL combinations of wires. So I bought another two of the same HX711 and still no result. Finally, I got HX711 from other manufacturer and it worked!. Its the same wirings but the chip is slightly bigger in size. Works perfectly with any of my load cells. So guys who struggle, chip can be an issue too
Can you make a GUI using microsoft visual studio in which it would receive the weight load applied on the load cell? I appreciate it if you do I step by step video on that. Thank you in advance
Generally load cells have impedance of input is 450ohms +/- 50 ohms and output is 350ohms +/- . You check impedance of both pair of wires to detect input and output...
Hello. First off I wanted to say that your videos are very very informative. I ordered the 20 g load cell from the link below, and was excited to get started with this project of building a small scale. However, I must say that the quality of the load cell doesn't seem to be up to par. I couldn't get an initial resistance reading just from the wiring. And I was wondering if there was something I was doing wrong
Hi! Thankyou so much for your video. I would ask you that is it possiple to use 4wires loadcell of 5tons capacity, even it is 4 wires loadcell but it is said that the exicitation voltage is 10V DC, but the operation voltage of HX711 is just 5V? And how much that the HX711 amplifies the voltge of the loadcell? Thankyou so much!
Thank you very much for your video. I would like to do something similar, but I need 4 load cells for it. Do you know how I have to connect this to the HX711? I despair at this task...
Very informative.. I want to implement the load sensor for 0 to 1.5 kg. But the thing is load cell which you shows is very big in size. So do we have any alternatives in smaller size.

Good approach. Is your project successful now?
Une video toujours d'actualité que je transfère à mes étudiants pour un projet scientifique. Merci.
More than 5 months I was trying to implement this, was not success, may be I'm so dumb :), finally I found something works, thanks, now I can continue my project...
Can't believe you ask the viewers to turn on subtitles! Excellent work!
Thanks! I have received some comments that some people are struggling to follow my accent. I guess it depends on the listener's mother tongue.
@@IndrekL keep up the great work!
Loved the in-depth explanation... keep doing these work
Thanks!
Great video regarding calibration of HX711. You covered quite a few "gotchas". Many Thanks!

Great explanation of the HX711, Loadcell and Arduino Code. I linked this one to my rain gauge, where I used exactly this combination.
Sir this was a very good video. Short and sweet. Its better than the other videos from even established channels on youtube.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, you saved me in my engineering class!
Finally someone whose English I can understand. Well done.
thanks! for the video! i plan on using three load cells to make sim racing pedals for my pc and this helps me to feel more comfortable on working on it!
You gave enough information for a fairly inexperienced person to actually make this project. Thank you. Very well done.
Thank you very much!
Love this, you have gained a new subscriber today!!!
That's a brilliant demo, Mate! Thanks.
Truly an amazing video! Engineers will be using this as a reference for years, thank you!
Brilliant! I’m new to arduino and these videos are a great help! I’m looking forward to your up and coming projects.
Awesome, thank you!
This video helps my project of BE Thesis. Thank sir.

Thank you for this very useful video through which I have completed the idea of how to design my project in my head.😍💙💙
Great job please continue with these amazing projects.
thx for this video !
It seems like it has a great deal of delay to guess the correct value...
thank you for your 2:16 time i have repair my scale 200gr
Thanks for the explain about strain gauge load Cell.
Awesome work! I‘m new to Arduino and you make it look easy. Thank you!
WOW WOW WOW You are awesome, such a nice tutorial, I love it 👍👍👍
Thank you, your video helped me set up my load cell!
This helps my project a lot thanks so much!
Great video! How can I wire 3 load cells on the same arduino?
This is what i would like to know
That was an excellent tutorial! Thanks a lot.
Hi @indrex, i already connected and followed everything until calibration and tare, but when i run the terminal, i got "Load_cell output val:nan"
I also facing the same issue.
Have you solved this? If yes, then pls tell how to solve.
@@aaryaagrawal5834 did you find a fix?
@@aidang7182 did you guys fixed it?

Thank You. This was very helpful. It worked flawlessly.
Thanks!
This video was so helpful. Thank you for making it. Would talk about how to program the OLED display? Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Maybe, in the future.
Great video!But doesn't work on Mac. Any solutions
It should if your Mac can run arduino IDE
Hello from Brazil. Great job! This video is the best I have watched about load cells. But how could I connect two or more Four Wire Load Cell?
It would be easiest to use one HX711 module per four-wire load cell.
@@IndrekL Hello sir when i run the program in terminal it shows load output value : nan . How to solve it
nice work. but i have question . while arduino reading the values the power resets and it will not show the existing weight on load cell. any suggestions??
Thanx you for making great tutorials

One word... Outstanding.
Heyy great work. I need to use a load cell for a project, Will it work if i put it upside down. I need to push upwards onto the cell.
Can it be used to calibrate Button load cell?
Thanks dude, you saved my live :D
how many of this can be connected to one controller? i like to connect like 10 of this to get info on punches and kicks,
I love you bro, till this day!
Amazing work man!
thank you so much please did you have software to read strain gauge ???
can you perform a (bixby routine or task) if a specified weight is applied to a chair?
Yes
Very nice project. Please tell me how can get the parts that you fixed your load cell with them? I mean the two plastic parts. Thank you.
This vid is awesome and so are you!
Could you use a micro bit instead of the arduino
Nice video , how to transfer the weight displayed to Google sheets can we also attach a barcode sensor and send both data to Google sheet
You earned a sub ♥️♥️
Thanks!
Hi; great tutorial, can you please tell me if this will work with the Arduino Nano?
Very good vídeo, I was searching for this all the week. Can you tell me if there os a way to get the measurment more slowly? And how to connect the display to a Arduino Uno R3.
do you have the part of the program concerning the lcd screen ?
Nice and Informative Video: I want to measure the tension in a cable, can you kindly suggest some source from where I can start. Thank you in advance.
Hi , thanks for the great video
can i use it with more acquisitions rate load cells ? and do you have any recommendations for one that can get 10-50 Kg with more than 10Hz acquisition rate?
can somebody help me please ? My serial monitor show me 'nan' instead of showing me the mass of the object
were u able to fix it i can’t figure why it’s doing this either
Bro same how do you fix this thing
Plz tell how to connect the lcd using bread board and make this into a fully functional scale
Thank you for the nice tutorial that helped me. I still have a problem: the values read by the system are increasing continuously even without any weight on it. I checked the wires of the load cell. Any idea ?
This is a very informative video
hey, can these steps also be applied to a 1kg load cell?
Wow this really helped! Thank you!
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I need to measure a weight change with respect to time for my project work. Is it possible to make a weighing machine using Arduino which gives weight with the time simultaneously.
Found the video helpful... I only have one question are using Arduino uno or mega?
You can use both
very good video ! Does anyone know where the reference of the elements is at the very end when they connect a screen? (with the arduino NANO) I am interested in the miniaturized version
Is there an example of it in any simulation circuit? Or I can do it in a simulation program

Great video! One question: Can I use this module with a 200 kilo load cell? Thank you
Is it possible tension & compression both is possible?
Good work. Can you please tell me that how we can measure the tension or compression using beam load cell?
Why nan value is coming?
wooow, that's gonna be useful, thanks!
